Abstract: There is provided an image forming apparatus an image forming apparatus that is capable of presetting a tabbed sheet feeding section and the number of divisions of recording sheets by tabbed sheets to make the setting operations easier in a tabbed sheet insert mode and a tabbed sheet producing mode during image formation, thus improving the operability. An image forming section forms images on tabbed sheets each having a tab projecting from one edge thereof. A tabbed sheet print mode setting section sets a tabbed sheet print mode in which an image is formed on the tab of each of the tabbed sheets. A control section enables the tabbed sheet print mode setting section to set the tabbed sheet print mode when a sheet feeding section that stores tabbed sheets and the number of tabbed sheets per set are set in advance.

Abstract: This invention provides an image forming apparatus capable of shortening the user's print waiting time as much as possible when it is determined that image adjustment is necessary during the image forming operation, and a control method therefor. To accomplish this, in a color image forming apparatus including a plurality of image forming stations which form toner images with a plurality of toners on the basis of a job, it is discriminated whether adjustment processing is necessary during a continuous image forming operation based on the job. If it is discriminated that adjustment processing is necessary, it is determined whether each of the image forming stations has a non-operating time enough to execute the discriminated adjustment processing during the image forming operation. The image forming station determined to have a non-operating time enough to execute adjustment processing executes the discriminated adjustment processing during the non-operating time.
